    Meghalaya got its first electric trains after the NF Railway has commissioned Dudhnai – Mendipathar (22.823 Track Kilometre) single line section and Abhayapuri – Pancharatna (34.59 Track Kilometre) double line section on March 15, in an endeavor for complete electrification.

    The Central Organization for Railway Electrification (CORE) has carried out the electrification works in these sections.

    Mendipathar is the only railway station in the north-eastern state of Meghalaya which is in operation since 2014 after being inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India, Chief Public Relations Officer Sabyasachi De said.

    After commissioning of electric traction, trains hauled by electric locomotive will now be able to operate directly from Mendipathar in Meghalaya which will increase the average speed.

    More passenger & freight carrying trains will be able to operate through these sections with full sectional speeds. Punctuality will also increase in this section.

    Parcel & freight carrying trains hauled by electric locomotives from other states will be able to reach Meghalaya directly.

    Electrification will significantly improve the mobility of trains in Northeast India. 

    In addition to the reduction in pollution due to the shift from fossil fuel to electricity, the efficiency of the Railway system in the region will also improve.

    This would facilitate seamless traffic and also save time of the trains moving to and from northeastern states apart from savings in precious foreign exchange.
